We tried to reach out to a few drywall people and none reached back out timely except for VNX. They replaced the drywall, fixed the light, textured the wall and repainted. The drywall looks like there was never any damage.
Flooring Installation Cost in Tampa Bay
Installed flooring in Tampa Bay runs from about $5 per square foot for luxury vinyl plank to $20 for engineered hardwood. Here is what is included and what changes the number.

Flooring quotes are easy to compare badly. One price includes removal, slab leveling, moisture barrier, baseboards and transitions; another is the plank only. Every range below is installed and complete: old floor out, subfloor prepared, new floor in, trim finished and the house cleaned.
Florida slabs and humidity decide a lot of this. We moisture-test every concrete floor before installation and recommend waterproof materials in wet rooms. The written estimate after measuring is free and itemized by room.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
Waterproof, quiet, warm underfoot and the most popular whole-house choice in Tampa Bay. A 1,800 square foot home typically runs $9,000 to $16,000.
Porcelain tile
Large-format and wood-look porcelain for kitchens, baths and whole-house slabs. Cost rises with tile size, pattern and leveling needs. A 1,800 square foot home runs $16,000 to $32,000.
Engineered hardwood
Real wood over a stable core, suitable for Florida when installed with a moisture barrier. Best in bedrooms and living areas away from wet rooms.
What moves the price
Taking up old tile from a slab is slow, dusty work and costs $2 to $4 per square foot. Carpet removal is far cheaper.
Cracked or uneven slabs need self-leveling compound before anything goes down. We price it after inspection, never as a surprise.
Large-format, herringbone and diagonal layouts take longer and waste more material.
New 5-inch baseboards, stair noses and transitions are included in our ranges; many quotes leave them out.
Moving heavy furniture and installing on stairs add labor. We tell you both in the estimate.
How to keep the budget in check
- Do the whole floor at once. Per-square-foot pricing drops as the job grows and the house looks like one space.
- Choose LVP for bedrooms and living areas and porcelain for baths and laundry for the best cost-to-durability balance.
- Skip the thickest plank. A quality 5 to 6 mm LVP with a 20 mil wear layer is the sweet spot.
- Replace baseboards with the floor; painting the old ones in place rarely looks right.
- Schedule flooring before paint touch-ups, not after.

Luxury vinyl plank installed in Tampa Bay costs $5 to $9 per square foot in 2026, including removal of carpet, floor prep, the plank, baseboards and transitions. Removing old tile adds $2 to $4 per square foot.
Both are waterproof. Tile lasts longer and stays cooler; LVP is softer, quieter and cheaper to install and repair. Many clients choose porcelain in wet rooms and LVP everywhere else.
A typical three-bedroom home takes three to five days including removal and prep. Tile takes longer than LVP.
Sometimes, if it is flat and well bonded. Usually we recommend removal so doors, cabinets and transitions sit at the right height.

If I could give 10 stars I surely would. This company is fantastic and the work they did was excellent. They arrived early, which is amazing, and after the work was done, they cleaned up. If you need a reliable company, this is the one to call.
